40 Burr Road

Welcome to this stunning, fresh approach to award winning Yale architect Peter Kurt Woerner's design. Bathed in light from all directions and built to entertain, all the public spaces center around the deck and bluestone courtyard. There is a first-floor master bedroom suite and flexible spaces perfect for family, guests or home office. Enter a gracious lofted foyer and the living room beyond glowing with banks of windows and balanced by the central fireplace. Extensive millwork and bookcases open to the formal dining room and into the kitchen. The current owners have improved on a masterful floorplan bringing a lightness of space. Reclaimed timbers offer a nod to Lyme's historic barns, adding warmth to a sleek kitchen with stainless appliances and quartz tops. You'll find a spacious breakfast area and a great room with a second fireplace. Utility and practicality is reinforced with a spacious mudroom and large pantry. The lofted main level primary has a renovated bath with heated floors. Two second floor bedrooms share the updated ensuite bath. Over the garage find a 4th bedroom, office, sitting area and a full bath on a separate heating zone. Solid updates include hardwood flooring or refinishing, kitchen and 3 full baths, and invisible updates including a new septic tank, AC condenser and a whole house generator. Extensive stonewalls and massive stone columns mark a grand entry. A wonderful country home in southern Lyme - 10 mins to the train. 2 hours to NY/Boston.
